VA City Named To Best Christmas Town In America List

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — If you're looking for a place close to home to get into the holiday spirit, one Virginia is among the best Christmas towns in the United States.

The writers at Travel + Leisure released a list last week highlighting the 25 most charming towns to visit during the holidays. From Maine to California, the list includes cities from all corners of America.

In Virginia, Travel + Leisure writers think Charlottesville is worth visiting during the holidays.

Here's what the publication had to say about Charlottesville:

"Charlottesville quiets down as college students cram for finals and then head home for the holidays. Before they go, though, the University of Virginia campus is decorated for the annual Lighting of the Lawn, which usually happens in early December. Another fun tradition is the gingerbread display competition at the Ronald McDonald House."
